response: 'Response from the Ministry of Transport

  The Ministry of Transport is committed to ensuring that the traffic regime on our
  roads is such that it first and foremost ensures the highest possible level of safety
  for all road users, while at the same time ensuring a higher level of traffic flow,
  which is increasing year on year. That is why we are also monitoring the development
  of technological solutions and trying to apply them as soon as possible on our road
  network. Operators are already installing modern technical means on national roads
  (including at junctions) to increase traffic flow and, as a result, reduce greenhouse
  gas emissions and reduce road user ill-feeling. It is a fact that not everything
  can be done at once, but our activities are certainly targeted at the most congested
  environments in particular.

  In cities, roads are largely owned and managed by municipal operators. This means
  that the traffic regime on these roads is also determined by the municipal operators.

  However, the Ministry of Transport is also aware of the issues you have raised in
  your initiative, which is why we started some time ago to work as closely as possible
  with local communities, as we believe that it is necessary to create a friendly
  and safe traffic environment for road users, regardless of who manages a particular
  road in public use.

  In view of the above, we will first and foremost present your initiative to the
  Ljubljana municipality, which you mentioned in your letter, and appeal to their
  competent authorities with a view to studying the matter and putting it into practice,
  since our common goal must be, first and foremost, safe road traffic that, while
  still meeting all safety standards, still ensures adequate mobility for users.  '
